Winter in the Pacific Northwest

A bit of a change from the previous post - here are some images from the rainy and foggy state that is Washington.




Nooksack River valley (north fork)




Nooksack Falls and the river fading into the mist




The pipe is part of the hydro power installation at Nooksack Falls.

Beaches, Islands and Long Shots

I'm going to start with my 30 second exposure experiments. The first one was of the western horizon with some threatening clouds a couple of hours after sundown. The second is looking southeast and I was lucky enough to capture a bolt of lightning.



If you look closely on the large size, there are some stars visible as well.



The bridge over Deception Pass is an incredible feat of engineering. I had some serious vertigo walking out onto it. This is a view from North Beach in Deception Pass State Park.



Some derelict industrial architecture on the Bellingham foreshore.



And finally a different take on a harbour view.
